Pimp my RockBass

Recommended Posts

I love my RockBass Corvette as it is my only 5 string and it gives a great sound but I am not a fan of the Chrome Hardware.

Incoming I have -

Black Warwick heads
Black Knobs
Black Schaller 3D bridge. (TBH nothing wrong with the Warwick 1 piece but figured I may as well upgrade!)

I shall hopefully have it all delivered when I get in tonight if not tomorrow. Will post pics of the rebirth!

For now a terrible camera phone pic of the bass in its current set up.

I think the stock bridge is pretty sound but I am putting a Schaller 3D on!

I have some mad ideas for this, thinking about putting a 3 band MEC EQ in and then either Duncans or Bartolinis.

Also a huge part of me wants to sand off the finish and oil it but I am not sure I am brave enough, the flame maple is only a thin veneer (5mm I believe) and I wouldnt want to get over zealous and wreck it!

I meant nut, not bridge. I am an idiot.

New Machine heads on a nice polished stock



Everything else on! (A damn sight cleaner!)


Restrung!





The whole thing needs a set up and the spacing arranged but It had been tuned up with a high C for some time so I am leaving it overnight to let it settle with the tension of a B and will begin the set up tomorow evening, followed by another good clean!

Personally I think it looks 100% better now!
